Some of the 42 prominent citizens are calling for the declaration of the Main Electoral Commission at the request of the Supreme Judicial Council to investigate allegations of financial irregularities and misconduct against the President by the Electoral Commission. They say this does not refute the allegations.
However, citizens can hold a meeting on Saturday to prepare a response to the statement made by the Electoral Commission. They can express their opinions through a press conference on Sunday. Previously, some of them decided to refrain from giving personal comments. One of the citizens complained on Friday, the Supreme Court attorney said. Shahdin Malik and Professor Tofail Ahmed, a local government expert, told Kaler Kanth.
Speaking with some of these citizens, it emerged that they are viewing the statement made by Chief Elections Commissioner (CEC) KM Nurul Huda last Thursday as an attempt to cover up the allegations. In particular, irregularities in the election, inconsistencies in the election results, various errors in the electronic voting machine (EVM), who spoke in training sessions every day, how much money – all this information was not disclosed in Nurul Huda’s statement. your valuation.
Sujan secretary to one of the citizens complained. Badiul Alam Majumder told Kaler Kantha yesterday: “We have filed a complaint with the president against the current Electoral Commission. And the Electoral Commission has protested. You can protest, but you do not refute the allegations. We are uncompromising in our complaint. We have constitutionally and constitutionally complained about this. The issues we have complained about have come up in the media and been published. Hopefully, the president will take steps to investigate these allegations through the Supreme Judicial Council.
Badiul Alam says that some people have said about the Supreme Judicial Council that its provisions have been repealed through the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution. But the Supreme Court’s ruling against the amendment does not prevent the formation of a Supreme Judicial Council. The verdict of the Supreme Court is the law of the land. He further stated, “The Chief Elections Commissioner has said that our complaint is intentional. Of course we have reasons. Our main objective is to ensure the accountability of a state body such as the Electoral Commission.
Regarding the meeting on Saturday and the possible press conference on Sunday, Sujan said they have such a thought.
Another prominent citizen said that the results released by the Election Commission show that 100 percent of the votes were cast in 213 electoral districts. This is by no means normal and realistic. In addition to the results, it is known that in 590 centers, 100% of the valid votes have been cast in a symbol. This is also amazing. The Electoral Commission has no explanation for these unrealistic and unusual events. When the statements of the Electoral Commission and the ruling party on the election become one, the question of the neutrality of that Electoral Commission will arise. They do not see the Electoral Commission in a neutral position.
On December 14, the president said. 42 prominent citizens of the country sent a letter to Abdul Hamid alleging financial irregularities and misconduct against the current Electoral Commission (EC) headed by KM Nurul Huda and calling for an investigation and action through the ‘Supreme Judicial Council’. A large part of his accusations include electoral irregularities and serious misconduct. He said there were many anomalies and inconsistencies in the analysis of the centralized results published under the Right to Information Act six months after the Eleventh Parliamentary Election, showing that the results were largely fabricated.
According to the complaint, the results of the XI Parliamentary Election showed that the percentage of valid votes in 590 centers fell on a single symbol. On the other hand, the candidates dispute with the symbol of the rice sheaf in 1,017 centers (2.93% of the total centers), the symbol of the plow in 3,036 centers (8.44% of the total centers) and the symbol of range in 2,933 centers (8.30% of all centers). Even the candidate competing with the ruling party’s symbol boat did not get votes in the two centers, which is by no means possible. Such anomalies in the results are a reflection of the serious misconduct of the Electoral Commission. Apart from this, the commission has not been seen to take any action against violation of the code of conduct of political parties and candidates in parliamentary elections, which citizens believe is a deliberate and malicious breach of the commission in enforcing the law.
A BBC Bangla journalist is alleged to have seen the full ballot box at a polling station in the Chittagong-10 constituency prior to the start of the morning elections. News of various irregularities have been published in newspapers and social networks throughout the voting day. A poll conducted by Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) after the elections also revealed allegations of sealing the night before. The TIB has recorded the sealing of 33 of the 50 randomly selected seats the night before.
Apart from this, citizens also complained of various irregularities in the elections of Khulna, Gazipur, Sylhet, Barisal and Rajshahi City Corporation and of serious misconduct of the Election Commission in these elections.
In response to these allegations, CEC Nurul Huda said on Thursday that the Election Commission has taken all possible measures to make the Eleventh Parliamentary and various City Corporation elections fair and neutral. Diplomats from different countries have watched the eleventh parliamentary election. They did not file any complaints about the election. “The election was free and fair,” he said. No serious irregularities or misconduct were reported in electronic and print media. He added that the results of many polling stations in the 2016 parliamentary elections were canceled and re-elections were held on the basis of specific allegations.
